You have been charged with providing a report of MCO patients (20,000 members) within your geographical region that have any chronic disease and two hospitalizations within any 45-day period over the last year.

The report will also need to include the name of the treating provider and the number of ER visits specific to a chronic disease.

Which of the following is the best collection method for this situation?
  1. Collect the full population data
  2. Collect a sample representation
  3. Collect a random sampling representation
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - The best collection method is none of the above as there is not enough information to begin a purposeful collection.

It is not possible to define a collection method without knowing the purpose or objective of the data collection. The collection method may differ depending on the data rationale specificity or simply need to review opportunities based on inferences.

A report produced without other parameters has the potential to be very large and may not be helpful without a defined purpose.
